Overheard In The Ladies Room

NaPoWiMo – Day 19 - Conversation is grist for the poetry mill: overheard conversation especially: Today’s challenge is to write a poem inspired by something you’ve overheard. Maybe it’s some phrase your mother uses a lot. Maybe it’s what the bus conductor said this morning over his loudspeaker

Overheard in the Ladies Room

He has a voice,

you know, that kind of voice

that makes a lady say,

I could do, would do

anything, willingly,

as long as he would talk to me.

He has a face,

you know, the kind of face

that makes a woman say,

I'd shave my legs -

most everyday

up all the way

If only he would...

And smile

he has a smile

that lights his eyes and

makes a body realize

he has been, could be, may be,

up to something you might do

if only he would smile at you.
